Meeting Change Makers at CBExchange 2025

I am excited to be presenting at this year’s CBExchange, the premiere event for changemakers advancing competency-based education and skills-first practices.

The theme for this year’s conference is “Wrangling Skills in this Wild West Environment.”

The Competency-Based Education Network, known as C-BEN, hosts this annual gathering of innovators and thought leaders.

Event Details

The conference takes place November 10 through 13 in Phoenix, Arizona.

I will be joining several colleagues from Education Design Lab for multiple sessions throughout the event.

Why This Matters

This conference brings together innovators working on the future of work and skills-first practices.

The sessions cover everything from developing durable skills in K-12 education to building employer partnerships.

We will also explore how to design trust when validating skills in hiring processes.

Conclusion

I hope to see you in Phoenix this November to discuss more about competency-based education and skills-first practices.
